COORDINATION CENTER FOR NATIONAL IRANIAN ARMED RESISTANCE FORCES DECLARES ITS EXISTENCE.
This announcement was received via telephone from a high ranking Army officer of NIRU from Iran
Start of announcement
Saturday December 26th, 2009
In the name of God the Merciful & Forgiving
Praise be to God and peace on the His Messenger (PBUH) and his family I take refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
The coordination center for National Iranian Armed Resistance Forces (NIRU) hereby declares its existence & accuses the current government and the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Mr. Sayyed Ali Khamenei of legal transgressions and high treason of nation and homeland.
We, a number of Officers, Soldiers and personnel of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, hereby declare our readiness for rise to the armed defense of our nation against the forces of the criminal, illegitimate, transgressing and occupying current Government of Iran, and hereby inform our brothers and sisters serving with the armed security forces of Iran, invite them to join us, request their support and ask them to provide cover for us in this moral & national act. A special request for support & cooperation goes to our brothers of the Military Police.
Our action has no political or revolting aspects. We’d rather see our actions as the carrying out of the moral & national duties of all soldiers & Iranians. Our intention is the defense of the oppressed against oppressors, and avoidance of further crimes committed by the illegitimate Government, as well as the return of freedom, peace, order & justice to our land.
Now, after 6 months of crisis, oppression, crimes, repeated violent transgressions of our nation’s rights, as well as the trampling of Constitutional & moral laws, the Leader and other main agents of the Government have stripped themselves of their qualification and legitimacy by committing these acts or failing to carry out their legal & moral duties and therefore are considered an occupying and forced regime. In accordance with the regulations of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we are commissioned to protect the lives, properties and honor of our nation, and defend our sacred soil, as well as combat all occupying forces within the borders of the land. Any failure in carrying out this duty is considered a betrayal of nation and oath. According to the constitution, the defense of the rights of the nation of Iran, and avoidance of the collapse of the country takes precedence over protection of the ruling regime. Such (defensive) action is “promotion of the good & rejection of wrong” which one is of the two main principles of our constitution, the other being democracy.
In accordance with the decision of this command, and in carrying out our national & moral duties, we hereby announce the initiation of Operation “Azadi” (Freedom).

Sounds good . . . so far . . . as far as I can tell.
If this is to the Good, Lord, God, then please bless their efforts a thousand fold.
ember29: RT @khazelton @SLSiri: ABCNews reporting up to 12 dead http://bit.ly/67lIty #iranelection #hrw #cn4iran #sog
less than a minute ago from Echofon
This number is sure to rise,,,
Catchin’ up...
well over 20 dead
Interesting, but frankly, I’m still pessimistic. Frankly, I doubt that a coup would go over easily. The most likely outcome in my opinion if a coup was tried would be all-out civil war instead of quickly deposing the regime.
“the writing is on the wall,”
Interesting you should use that metaphor! This is in the same general area of the planet. :-0
wow
“...report:four planes ready on standby at airport to take Khameni & co out-
~~~
My next question is where would they go ?...”
To Hawaii to vacation with zero and the family.
LOL,,,By way of Detroit...
FWIW - saw a tweet not long ago reporting intense gunfire at Tehran’s Military Academy (Army not IRGC) . . . got to wonder if/when the regular armed forces of Iran will make a play
Prayers that this be true.
got to wonder if/when the regular armed forces of Iran will make a play
~~~
We mite find out soon,,,
Nearly dawn,,,
I look for the Army to go in then...
“Whoa! This is good news!! The end is near for the regime.”
I wish. A nation that is comfortable killing and torturing people that rise up against them in the streets has a long life line. China ran over people with tanks.
They are still in power. Iran is doing the same.
Oh my this is huge if they are planning a quick get away! Who would tke them though? Venezuela, Cuba?
Thanks for the ping!
They certainly seemed to be determined. This video was posted earlier, showing the protesters throwing rocks while being shot at.
It is 8:48 am in Tehran right now.
I’d really love for this to be true, but it seems a little like disinfo to me.... an attempt to get a real coup started.
Prayers for all the freedom fighters.
If the Army and Police stands behind the protest and floods Tehran (takes control of the government sites) with the regime collapse (taking refuge to other countries), the revolution will succeed.
